My Take on the Series

I have always been a person that loves learning and from all
of the way back to when I was a child, the idea of our solar system and beyond
always grabbed my fascination. I can think back to when I was a child,
collecting space Legos, drawing spaceships all of the time, watching star wars
and star trek, reading comics and simply dreaming of aliens and the larger
cosmos that we are a part of.

This series expanded my understanding of how small of a
player Earth is in the larger scheme of the cosmos. As I was watching this I
was humbled by how vast the cosmos was (from what we can comprehend). When I
watched this I had my daughters watch with me, and to watch their eyes and talk
to them afterward was exciting, because I think for the most part this series
blew their minds (it did for me too).

I have to say that the information packed into this series
as well as the vibrant color and beauty in this was simply breathtaking. The
series is so complete and you will leave this with so much more information
that you first started.

I would highly recommend this to all as I believe that
everyone needs to understand the universe and our place within this grand
universal design.
